GPS not working since update ... HELP!!!

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:35:56 GMT

I recently updated to my phone to the new 4.0.A.2.368 build version. Since that update my GPS won't connect or lock on to any satellites . I've tried doing a hard reset but this hasn't changed anything. This is extremely frustrating as I use the GPS an awful lot as I have the Co-Pilot sat-nav app installed as well as a sports tracker app for when i'm doing training etc.

Has anyone else experienced these issues and know of a fix for it?

use either Update Service or PCC to repair your phone, and then try again

Have tried the repair process but it hasn't changed. Co-pilot won't lock on location and google maps will only find my location to the nearest 2000 metres, which I imagine is by my phone signal and not the GPS. It's definitely puzzled me!

GPS is switched on by the way lol

Cancel that! Left the phone by the window with Co-Pilot running and it finally acquired! Took about 15-20 minutes though to get a signal. Obviously the repair system did the trick after all
